Salam

yes but why should we have any reason to believe that practicing muslims, in this case salafis, had anything to do with those?

we don't trust the media when it lies abt deobandies or the mujahideen, why trust them to report accurately on salafis?

the media is obviously going to portray/deceive the public regarding individuals who are very outspoken regarding their view that shariah should be the law, while the "moderate" "fake sufis" entertain secularism and describe democracy - a man-made system that allows the constitution to change according the whims of the era - as being consistent/compatible with islam.

i remeber recently watching this report on the growing power of the "salaphists" in egypt, and let me say they spared no effort to portray them as neo-fascists or worse. and what was the their crime?...they wanted to do away with secularism.

you dont need kuffar media to report on salafis. salafis have their own websites and media. and some salafais are calling for targetting of christians there.

it sparked because there was a controversy not so many days ago. that 2 wives of coptic priests came out saying that they have converted to islam, so they want to divorce their husbands. because under egyptian-law only the church can grant someone divorce, and they were not granted. so some think they just pretended to be muslim, inorder to divorce their husbands. but many also think they sincerely became muslim, but the christians dont want them to be muslims.

so after they declared their conversion, soon within a few days, the women came out again saying that they actually havent. theyre christians. and then the priests said that we are sending them to monastery for treatment/education. and so many people started speculating that they are being kidnapped/hostage. ever since then, many salafi gorups have been increasingly targetting christians. even though most copts have nothing to do with this incident.

there are videos online, but if you check any salafi-jihadi site, you will get the real picture exactly what kind of campaign is goin on. they are calling for attacks against them. and if you check aljazeera on youtube, im sure you will see some reports/videos of attacks and victims.

during the egyptian protests, i was very glad. because two things were being achieved, one is the fight against hosni mubarak the dictator. and two, because this united copts and muslims in egypt to oust mubarak. so attacks against copts stopped, but just as the revolution was over. the violence has resumed again.
